According to your attached picture it's old desktop monitor. I can clearly remember when I learnt computer first I used Samsung. But not clearly say what brand is this one.

That is one of the last PowerMac G4s that were made. Known as the Mirror Drive Door or MDD. There were 3 variations released in 2002-3. The monitor is one of the early Cinema displays. Probably from the same time as the MDD.
Wow, so I have a little piece of Mac history then! Awesome. Anyone know what's the newest OS X it can run?

@Paulk A late 2012 rMBP would have come with Mountain Lion originally, not Snow Leopard. No rMBP can even boot Snow Leopard, except in a VM.
The PowerMac is stuck on 10.5.8 Leopard, it won't run anything after that because it is PowerPC-based. If the iMac is Intel-based (and not a last-gen G5) it will be possible to update further, but how far depends on if the CPU. Snow Leopard is the max for a Core Duo (although some have modified Lion to run on one).
